The funny thing about Ike's Military-Industrial Complex in his farewell speech is that he knew that already during his 1952 campaign and even had a speech prepared that he never gave. Nixon's Checkers speech upstaged it. In those days, the "newspapers of record" printed the transcripts of presidential candidates' speeches -- even the one Ike never gave.
